BLESSED TO BE FRUITFUL...(PART 2)

There is so much we can learn  from the Bible passages today. Jesus compares the kingdom of God to a seed and indeed it is like a seed; we will see that in the studies in the days ahead. A powerful truth we need to learn this month is, that ultimately God is responsible for making us fruitful. He is the one who causes conception to take place. He is the One who knows how bones grow in the womb.  If you are connected to Him in ways that He expects you to be connected to Him, you will be fruitful. Speaking through the Prophet Isaiah, He said the eunuch who is connected to Him should not call himself "a dry tree". There is too much life, fire and power in the vine for any branch to remain unfruitful. You cannot remain unfruitful while connected to the vine. Our God is a God of fruitfulness and harvests. Your union with Him will surely produce worthy fruits.  Remember that, ultimately, He is in charge of fruitfulness and harvests and I know that He desires to make you fruitful. In this season, you will sleep and wake up and suddenly see some good things coming out of the ground of your life. From a dry and barren land, fruits will emerge. Secondly and importantly, our fruitfulness will take a process and will manifest in stages.  This is the nature of God and the kingdom. Your destiny is the full grain but what may appear now may just be the ear. This does not mean that a full harvest or fruitfulness is not on the way.  Remain consistent and focused, the full grain will come out. Know that God is a God of times, phases and stages. Be faithful with the blade then the ear will come. Be faithful and diligent with the ear, then the full grain will come. Develop a unique and an intimate work with the Holy Spirit this month and you will see every wilderness around you become a fruitful field and that fruitful field become a forest... In this season babies will grow in the womb, blades, ears and full heads will emerge from the soil of your life.

Today's Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank once again for bringing me to my season of fruitfulness. Help me to be so connected to you that the life in you will flow through me. Teach me the process of fruitfulness. Thank you Lord Jesus. Bless my day!
